      Update to reformed qualifications 01 April 2016

      Review date amended for first-teach 2015 qualifications

      It has recently come to our attention that on systems such as LARS/The Hub (the Learning Aims Reference Service) our new first teach 2015 qualifications had an end date, or last date for new starts, of 31/08/2016 which was incorrect. As a result, all of our new first teach 2015 qualifications have had their review dates amended to 2020, which will extend the last date for new starts for 16-19 EFA programmes

      The following qualifications are affected by this amendment:

      These changes will filter through onto systems such as LARS/The Hub (the Learning Aims Reference Service) early in April 2016.
